Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Increasing the admission rate and adopting such a method is nothing more than stimulating the people to send more children to school to study.

"There is another point." Li Ke remembered something again.

"At the end of this year, the Ministry of Education will be able to formulate relevant financial reports, mainly to make statistics on the list of teachers in school buildings across the country, and the salaries of all teachers will be registered and distributed."

"In addition, the purchase of equipment such as school buildings in various schools can gradually become popular, and this part of the funds also needs to be included in the budget."

"If you look at the related equipment in terms of time, in the early stage, some state-owned firms that manufacture the equipment can donate part of it."

"Unified procurement will be carried out later." Li Ke still paid attention to Li Shimin's words, so at the end of this year, it is also time for the Ministry of Education to take back the ownership of schools across the country.

"In the future, the unified jurisdiction of these schools, including the jurisdiction of teachers across the country, will be managed by the Ministry of Education. The treatment of teachers must be guaranteed. For the time being, the budget of the Ministry of Education will be arranged according to about 5% of fiscal revenue. , and this ratio may exceed a quarter of the national treasury revenue in the future." Li Ke drew a big cake for Kong Yingda.

Sure enough, Kong Yingda was shocked when he heard this figure. Datang’s fiscal revenue last year was about 3500 million guan. Doesn’t 5% mean that the Ministry of Education’s budget will reach 175 million guan?

This is calculated based on last year's fiscal revenue of Datang, and now Datang's fiscal revenue is growing explosively. This year's figure may exceed 4000 million, or even higher.

And it will eventually grow to a quarter of the country's fiscal revenue? !Can this education cost that much money?

"Your Highness, this is of course a good thing." Kong Yingda hesitated and said, "Willing to engage in education, and investing so much, this is a great event for the entire Tang Dynasty."

"But isn't the proportion of this fiscal revenue a bit high? One quarter of the national fiscal revenue, no matter what, you can't use this figure, right?"

"Who said it can't be used? It can't be used now because the temporary school building and other issues have already been successfully built, and the monthly salary of the teachers is not very high."

"But in the future, teachers will definitely grow according to the number of years of teaching and educating people, as well as their professional titles, and future universities will definitely be linked to academicians like Lu Daqiang."

"Because of some majors, academicians like Lu Daqiang will be needed to teach in the future. To a certain extent, the future research talents of these majors must be graduates from universities."

"In addition, universities in the future may undertake some academic research institutions. The research and development of new technologies, research equipment, etc. all need to be purchased by universities."

"From a certain point of view, Datang's education industry will continue to be controlled by the state, and for a long time, the state will not allow private universities to appear."

"And all schools need to be registered with the Ministry of Re-education. From a certain point of view, education is the cornerstone of a country, and powerful families, merchants, etc. are not allowed to participate." Li Ke explained to Kong Yingda.

Hearing this, Kong Yingda understood, and he said happily, "Then I'll have to look for Master Sun Simiao more."

"Hahaha, it seems that Kong Shangshu thinks thoroughly." Li Ke was overjoyed instantly, Kong Yingda thought simply, he liked people like Kong Yingda.

Look for Sun Simiao more, pay attention to your body, it must be a person who has lived long enough, long life is good, and he can work.

Although Kong Yingda's reputation is not obvious, he was actually the first to follow Li Shimin, and he was also one of the Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Palace.

Moreover, Kong Yingda is actually engaged in economics. Before Li Ke participated, although Kong Yingda was in charge of the Guozijian, he also had his own understanding of Datang's financial operations and other aspects.

Of course, the economic research of this era is very different from that of later generations, so after Li Ke stepped in, Kong Yingda found that some of his research could not keep up, and he did not have more energy to study.

The main reason is that many new concepts need to be learned from scratch, and mathematics needs to be refined.

And Kong Yingda is definitely impossible at this age, so he concentrates on education. As a descendant of Confucius, Kong Yingda has done what his ancestors should do.

So he is also very concerned about education now, and Kong Yingda thinks very thoroughly. If he does a good job in this education, Kong Yingda may not be able to compare with his ancestor Confucius.

But the names of later generations in history books must definitely be second only to their own ancestors.

Education is the foundation of a country, so he thought through it thoroughly, and when His Highness did this, Kong Yingda was naturally unified and implemented it very simply.

The Confucianism of this period is not the same as the Confucianism after two or three dynasties later. At least Kong Yingda can still keep his ancestors' saying "Threesome must have my teacher" in his heart at all times.

Three people must have my teacher, so there are so many subjects in the Tang Dynasty must be useful.

"The veteran has nothing else to ask for in his life. He just wants to see Datang's education career take off in the hands of the veteran. That's enough." Kong Yingda said with a smile.

"Kong Shangshu, don't you think that the status of Confucianism will be lowered by promoting the school like this? The influence of the Confucian government will no longer be there." Li Ke asked with a smile.

Kong Yingda smiled, and then said lightly: "Although what your Highness said is correct, it may not be correct, although it seems that the status of Confucianism has been lowered."

"But the ancestors said that three people must have my teacher. The increase of so many disciplines in the Tang Dynasty is also of great help to the promotion and development of Confucianism."

"What's more, Confucianism has always been based on a leadership position, because no matter how the Tang Dynasty develops, it will always be based on a leadership position in terms of politics, whether it is academically or professionally."

"And as long as the political aspect is in a leading position, Confucianism cannot be eliminated, and it will always be in a leading position."

"Confucianism has been born for more than 1000 years. So far, Confucianism has penetrated into every aspect of this land, and it exerts influence all the time. This is enough."

"Just like your Highness, you like to win-win, so why not academics? Multiple academics will flourish, and this kind of competition can ensure the renewal of academics."

"The prosperous situation of the various schools of thought back then is fascinating to think about now."

"So there is nothing for the veteran to be unwilling to do, because the future glory is destined to have a contribution from Confucianism."

Kong Yingda smiled and said, these are his inner thoughts, some things, you have to look at them in two.

Li Ke nodded, he understood that these people are all good people, they may do stupid things, but doing stupid things does not mean that they are really stupid, nor does it mean that they can't think of it.

Rather, they are betting on your bottom line, or protecting theirs.
